excel file password protection
Hello. I used Information menu to protect my Excel file with a passowrd and saved my file. when I open the file I am not asked to input a password. Do you know what is wrong?
I use Tools>General Options in the "Save As" dialog box to input password, it's very helpful.
Thanks for your answer.
In fact I tried this option but it works only for xlsx file.
For csv format , the Password fields are not accessible.
So my conclusion is that the protection password options is available only for xls(x) format and not csv.
- that is correct. csv does not support password protection. you could zip the csv file and put a password on the zip so they need the password to open the zip file to then access the csv.
